More ED Jobs, Less Hassle, and a Smarter Way Forward

Written by Wavelength | Jul 11, 2025 5:13:38 AM

We’re making it easier and faster for Emergency doctors to find their next locum role - and this is just the beginning.

Why We’re Changing the Way We Work

The healthcare recruitment landscape is evolving fast and so are the expectations of our candidates. We recently asked some of our doctors what is most important when it comes to hearing about jobs. What we heard was a need for more visibility, faster updates, and job information that’s clear and easy to act on.

So, we’ve taken a bold step forward.

We’re investing in automation and AI that eliminates repetitive manual work, reduces delays, and redirects our time and focus where it matters most: helping our doctors find the right locum role, faster.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been piloting a brand-new approach with our ED team, and soon we’ll be rolling out the process across all locum job opportunities – covering all seniorities and specialties.

What’s Changing and What It Means

All Emergency locum jobs we receive are now published on our website in near-real time.

We receive more than 100 ED locum roles each week, from last-minute urgent shifts to schedules up to six months in advance, right across Australia. Until recently, only a small percentage ever made it online, mostly due to time-consuming manual processes and rapidly changing rosters that are difficult to keep updated.

Not anymore.

Now, every locum Emergency job from junior to consultant roles goes into our system and onto our website as quickly as possible, thanks to streamlined automation and leveraging huge advancements in AI.

What our doctors can expect:

  • More jobs

Every available ED locum job from our national network, not just a handful

Faster access

Within minutes of a job hitting our inbox, it’s on website

  • Clear details

All the info our doctors need to make a decision quickly — rate, dates, on-call expectations and location

Easy action

Search the website anytime, and direct contact with the recruiter to express interest

 

What’s Next

We’re continually innovating and not stopping at job visibility. There’s plenty more on the way:

  • Faster outreach: We’re testing AI-powered job-match templates to send easy-to-review emails with the latest jobs
  • Smarter segmentation: We’re improving how we match jobs to specific preferences, availability and experience - so doctors only hear about relevant roles
  • Better communication: Regular job wrap-ups and more insights from our team and the market
  • Streamlined experience: Enhancements to the way candidates search, express interest and stay informed about new opportunities

This isn’t just about tech updates. It’s about trust, speed and supporting our doctors with what they need, when they need it.

By automating what’s happening behind the scenes, we can focus more on what really matters: understanding preferences, helping with paperwork, credentialing and compliance, and placing doctors in the roles they want, faster than ever before.
